Description

Cousins by Aurora Venturini is a darkly funny and formally daring novel that explores the lives of four women from an impoverished family in Argentina. Forced to endure a series of ordeals, including disfigurement, illegal abortions, miscarriages, sexual abuse, and murder, they are narrated by a daughter whose success as a painter offers her a chance to achieve economic independence and help her family. Through the voice of Yuna, an unforgettable protagonist with a candid, sharp edge, Venturini scrutinizes neighborhood mythologies, female sexuality, vengeance, and social mobility through art. This is a vital and mysterious novel that is completely original and mischievous in its style.
